What The Heck???
I posted last month about reducing my Pramipexol from 5.0 mg a day to .75 mg per day I had heard about the horrors of Augmentation. I am now into my second week of cutting back and I'll be danged, not one restless leg episode since new dosage. I have increased my Gabapentin nightly dose from 300 mg to

PMR and Zostavax vaccine for Shingles
Hi, I know that this topic has been covered before but I thought I would add my own experience of a GP who flatly refuses to believe that there could be any link between my receiving the Zostavax live vaccine for Shingles in September 2018 and my subsequent diagnosis of PMR 6 months later. I have now

Ropinerole
My meeting with Dr. Winkleman went pretty much how I expected. I knew it would mainly be med changes. One of which is ropinerole which I've been on for many years. Augmented last summer and along with my PCP we tried various meds . Ended up back on ropinirole along with lyrica 150 and lyrica 75 and

My son has given up on life after TBI Accident
One month ago my 14 years old son was in an accident, he was found conscious and he could speak. On the spot he scored 13 out of 15 on the glascow coma scala. But as the ambulance was on the way he lost consciousness and he stopped breathing until they put the respirator. When he lost consciousness

Homeopathy for PA
Hi All, I am taking methylcobalamin 500 mcg every alternate day from more than a month. My symptoms initially got little bit better but after 2 weeks the symptoms are getting even worse. I am not sure what’s going on . I have PA as IFA and PCA are positive. One of my friend suggested Homeopathy. I

Guidance required
I withdrew slowly from taking 2.5 mg zyprexa in June 2018 after taking it for 16 years. Terrible drug to get off. Now have developed either temporary tardive dyskinesia or restless leg syndrome. Will this resolve itself naturally. Also have terrible sleep problems. Now very scared of prescribed medication

Gambling problem
Hi everybody I am new to this but hoping somebody can help me. I have taken Ropinirole for over 10 years and have developed a gambling habit through it.

Zoloft / sertraline / health anxiety update
So, yesterday was the first day of the week where I go off Zoloft and wean off every other day. Omg I felt so much more like ME. The day was SO foggy, though, and headachy. Had a couple mood swings throughout the day but I kept them to myself; I just feel more sensitive! I went out to eat later that

Gabapentin for RLS
Hi All. In January, I saw my GP for RLS which I seem to have had for ever! I was initially prescribed Ropinirole which did not agree with me and so I was weaned off of this. I was then prescribed Gabapentin. I started on a very low dosage which has gradually been increased. I am currently on 300mg 3

Athlete’s foot
Week 8, Run 2 complete and I’m 60! Happy with progress even though I’m slow but I have Athlete’s foot. Wanted to finish the programme before going on holiday next week. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did you stop until it healed?

Thyroid illness anyone? Maybe not.
I have written at some length on here before about misdiagnoses. We believed for many years that my daughter was suffering from hypothyroidism and other related endocrine problems. She was tested and treated privately in Britain and Belgium for those conditions. However, we were wrong. We didn't dig

Meeting with Dr. Winkleman at Mass General !
Last summer I unfortunately had the experience of augmentation after many years on ropinirole. And even more unfortunately I had had both hips replaced....fortunately not at the same time! But still....3 months apart. This did not fare well with my RLS. Augmentation I believe is very "evil"....just recently

Proof of hypnagogic jerks
Hello, I’ve been experiencing body jerks and hypnagogic jerks when I’m falling asleep, I went to a neurologist and got scheduled to have a MRI and EEG. My question is will proof of hypnagogic jerks show on the MRI or EEG even if I don’t have one during the testing?
